Yes, I have also tested successfully on Windows 2000 server.
I can't remember if i got XP working or not.

Marinetti and the PPP link layer are stable.
I can't comment on whatever IIgs or Windows box you're running though

Marinetti PPP uses one of the GS serial ports.

I do have plans to implement MS-CHAPv2, however, given the (almost non
existant) response to MS-CHAPv1, it is low priority at the moment.

For assistance with configuration, I do recommend reading the Juiced GS
issues mentioned in the sourceforge bug tracker (Juiced GS magazine
v9.4 and v10.1  - v10.1 is the article with the walkthrough).

Available as back issues from Syndicomm online store.
